It just suddenly stopped working, my phone doesn't autorotate, apps that use the Accelerometer now obviously don't work. for example, my "bubble" app is stuck at 2 degrees x 3 degrees. i tried to restart my phone, and still doesn't work. is there anything i can try to do to fix it? or is there a way i can find out what the problem is?
Anyone know a solution?
same thing happened to me- try a wipe first and if that doesnt work try a wipe and a reflash.
wipe your phone the exact same thing happen to me. you can backup everything using mybackup pro
Do a wipe, had this same issue before. A wipe solved my problem.

Hi,
I have the same problem on HTC Legend, got two of them - one for my wife. Curious - accelerometers on both stopped working approx the same time.
I wonder if this could be related to some update or application we installed.
So by "wipe" what do you mean? Probably deleting everything from the SD card or what? Sorry - new to smartphones.
Thanks

Hi. I would post this in froyomod topic but i can't because i'm new and stuff.
I know a lot of people have the exact opposite problem, but after i upgraded my froyomod to 2.7 my wi-fi won't turn off anymore.
I mean, i can turn it off but after a while it turns back on again. Even when the device is locked. I wouldn't mind my wi-fi on 24/7 but sometimes i need my phone for the whole day and if wi'fi is always on my battery won't last half the day.
Does anyone else have this problem? can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing the Rom again and wiping both Cache Partition and
Dalvik cache. If it don't work, do a Nandroid backup and then a Factory reset and see what happens. If the problem is fixed, restore the Nandroid, make a backup of everything that's important and then do the factory reset again. This way you don't lose anything.
I tried flashing the rom again and the problem is still there, and since it was pissing me off i went back to froyomod 2.6, but guess what? My wi-fi turns on by itself on that version too...
So i guess the problem is on my device. I should try another rom and see how it goes.
Also, i did reset all the data and tried everything. This is really pissing me off.
Sounds like you have y5 on an ext partition

Sorry, but what does that mean? Can i fix it? I even tried formatting my SD Card completely but it didn't work. I had the same problem in all the roms i used.
Ah ok. That's pretty weird.
Y5 is an app that automatically connects to wifi networks but there is no setting to disable it.

This is really weird since the only apps i use are facebook, twitter, and some others that don't update automatically.
Anyways, thanks for the help. I give up.
So I've been having this strange problem and I am convinced there is no simple solution. Every time I wipe date and install a rom, I try to sign in to the Google account during setup, and I keep getting an error saying that there was a problem communicating with Google servers. I've done a factory reset, formatted everything, tried different RUUs, and nothing seems to work. I just can't sign in on a Sense 5.5 rom. So now I want to clear the phone completely, because there must be something that no form of wiping is touching. A stock RUU can't solve the problem and I don't know what can. I even tried using LTE instead of WiFi and still no luck. Does anyone have any clue about this?

I had the same thing. My solution was wipe everyithing except data and internal memory. After that no more errors

But I have wiped everything including internal storage and used usb-otg to install roms. Nothing works. Are you sure that will fix this?
EDIT: Can confirm that your recommendation doesn't work for me. I decided to flash a different rom (InsertCoin) and in this one I can sign in, but it won't sync, it just keeps saying "Google Sync error."

It did the trick for me. Also, I mount system in recovery before doing anything. I'm pretty new to this phone and never used any recovery except 4ext on my Desire and Evo so I can't be 100% sure, leaving data did the trick for me
I've tried a few new things so far. I used the mkfs.ext4 file to format the data partition as I think that's where the source of the issue lies. But I also used fastboot to format system. If this doesn't work then I don't know what else to to. I might be forced to run a GPe rom or some other android rom. I just strongly prefer sense.

whats happens if you start a new account
It won't work. I tried typing in random letters in to the user name and password box but it doesn't even try to connect.
Well I've got bad news. I managed to hard brick my device, so this issues I was having is not an issue for me anymore. But if anyone can help find a solution that would be appreciated as I'm sure someone else might be facing the same problem.

That's when you can't enter the bootloader anymore. You hold the power button and the lights on the bottom don't flash and it'll just vibrate a bit. But it's all good I got the phone replaced today. So then I installed the rom I was trying to install earlier (the one where I couldn't sign in to google) and I ended up having the same issue. So I think I'm gonna just use ARHD or something.
Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Yeah but when I start the phone it works just fine...It's after a while that the problem happens...
Even if I don't open an app, it's still happening...

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

Have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48066948&postcount=6
OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry
Hi guys.
I have a g900a from AT&T. The phone was working perfectly until recently. Now the main camera fails again and again.
The flash works, and the secondary camera works as well. I tried factory reset, clear app cache, etc. Nothing works.
If the flash is working, does it mean the camera it might still be working and it is just a software problem? As I recall, I didn't install anything weird to **** up my camera. And even if I did, factory reset would have solved it, yes?
I have no clue what is the problem or how to fix it. Please help.
Thank you!

You can delete this post. I found out that I'm not the only one with this issue, an entire planet has...
I seem to have a problem with my camera after the update, I can not open the setting for the camera, it self closes as fast as it opens. Does anyone else have this problem?
Go ibto apps and clear the settings, defaults and cache for the camera
works fine on mine. Last resort would be factory reset, but maybe you could try go to settings/apps/camera click on storage and clear cache and data?
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this and it did not fix my issue. I was hoping that I would not have to do a hard reset!

I have the same problem. It started yesterday. I tried the Safe Mode, Cache delete and the Factory reset, none of this worked. The camera app is still crashing.
I'm going today to the Verizon store, I hope I can get a replacement.
Did you resolve this issue ?
I had to do a factory reset to fix the camera. This worked for me. I would suggest trying it again.
Hope this helps

Random questions:
1) Do you have a memory card installed?
2) Did your memory card come from a previously encrypted Samsung device?
I'm only asking because I had the EXACT same issue, and it led to slow-downs too.
The card ended up being corrupt, and I had to get a new one: problem solved for me.
Just a thought.

Yes, I have a SD installed. I just removed the SD and performed a Factory reset again. Still not working. :crying:
Thank you anyway for the advice.
Did you ever get this fixed?
Mine is not working after the Oreo update.
